Origins of the Yellow Mango

With over 1,000 varieties of Mangos throughout the world, Mangos originated in the Subcontinent of India over 4,000 years ago.  Since then Explorers, by sea and land have taken the various mango seeds and cultivated them in their own land, islands, and continents.   Today the Yellow Mango or Ataulfo Mango, which is the official scientific term for the fruit, used at Kung Fu is grown in Mexico during the warmer months of the year, usually from April thru August.  Not indigenous to Mexico, the Ataulfo fruit grown in Mexico has its roots from the Island nation of the Philippines, which in turn has its origins from Southeast Asia, which could trace its origins farther east, next door to India, where scientist believe was the birthplace of the mango fruits.

Nutritious Thai Dessert

The Yellow Mango, or “Golden Mango”, as it is affectionately known throughout Asia due to its soft texture properties, and delicate handling requirements, is called the “King of Fruits” due to its rich nutritional substance.  The Ataulfo Mango contains many vitamins, including Vitamins A, C, E, and Iron which helps the body with digestion and attributes to unclogging the pores on a person’s skin.  Golden Mango’s also contains high amounts of Antioxidants, and Selenium, which assist the human heart, fending off free radicals.  With all these nutrients contain in one Yellow Mango, its no wonder why the Fruit is considered a Super Fruit in some circles.
